Cheese Tarts

Served fresh from the oven, the Cheese Tarts (P599) are unlike any other, with contrasting elements that somehow blend together. Rich, but light. Tart, but sweet. Mild, but flavorful. It all comes together in a creamy, irresistible, luscious pan that delivers the most delightful and addicting melt-in-your-mouth sensation. It's topped with a rather neutral apricot glaze and the PABLO logo.
